Kalvin's is quite popular and busy. They have a variety of Szechuan food. It is quite cramped in here so you will probably have to wait for a table during peak hours. Their organ stew is delicious if you're into that.
Great food, very busy and probably will run out of good stuff early, so I recommend coming earlier for dinner! I wanted to try their duck but unfortunately they were sold out and I got there around 8:30pm.
My husband and I go past this restaurant so many times and it's always full house. So one day we decided to dine here and we got the last table. We ordered one stir fry chicken dish and one mixed organ meat with veggies hot pot. It was very different taste from other Chinese restaurants we had tried in the past due to the fact we really hadn't dine at many taiwanese restaurant. I thought the food wasn't bad and above average but my husband didn't like the taste. The price is bit pricier than other Chinese restaurants though. I would like to try different dishes there but have to do without the husband since he whines every time I want to go there.
After a weekened movie, we decided to grab dinner at Kalvin’s Szechuan Restaurant on Victoria Drive. In spite of “Szechuan” in the restaurant’s name, this is not really Szechuan restaurant. The menu offers dishes that span not just Szechuan region, but also Shanghainese and Taiwanese cuisine.
Just a friendly reminder to customers that Kalvin's Restaurant is on holiday this month and will reopen in April. Customers were reminded when they visited early this month & signs were also posted outside the restaurant as well; however in case some people have not received notice, I am posting it here so everyone knows (:

Nice authentic Taiwanese-Szechwan food, but unfortunately, they don't serve stinky tofu anymore, which was a huge disappointment because I've been scouring the city for it, but otherwise, the food was really good. It can be a bit on the salty side, so a lot of the dishes are best served with white rice.
Solid chinese food with GREAT SERVICE which is rare! Had the beef rolls, 3 spice chicken ( bit too salty, and beef and bamboo chili pepper. Would definitely good back
I grew up in this neighbourhood so coming back here after so many years was nostalgic for me. The food has not changed but the interior is no longer old and decaying! It has now been transformed into a beautiful restaurant, equipped wit the lazy susans and white tablecloths and also a very cute washroom doorway curtain.

The place is rather small, hole in the wall type and ordered a few items previously, for take out and it was definitely slightlly above average. right and -cash only- and will need to reserve a table prior to coming.
I also went here for my grad dinner, and pre-ordered some items that are needed to be ordered a few days prior to coming, and so far the wood is wonderful i'll say, it's more to the subtle taste, and it's something that i like, so that when i do eat a lot i don't numb my tongue by having too many strong flavours. With that being said, i ordered quite a few number of items, i didn't take a picture on most of the items, on most of the items they are good indeed. the soup that i preordered i think it's very good too the name is chicken and garlic in hotpot, it reminded me of my mom's cooking the broth of the soup is base on the boiled chicken. the shrimp with lettuce is just okay though, but still good.
other than that, the restaurant in general is nice, and i would definitely recommend the place, and be sure to pre-order your pre-orders and be on time, and enjoy the dinner :)
